Coat Color Related Question Schnauzers
Back Yard breeder .. No .. my dogs do not live in the back yard lol..
Occasional Breeder ??.. OK.. there is nothing magical about my dogs.. they simply come from verry pure german lines we imported years ago from a long established credible kennel in germany.. and YES we went to Germany to see for ourselves what we were bringing in for our breeding program... responsible breeder.. yes I would like to think so .. as for health and temperment testing... yes we screen breeding parents for anything my vet feels should be tested for.. we are not intrested in registering or showing either as you are right it is to laugh...In order to refine an existing type is fine .. but where did the existing type come from ?? all dogs are descended from wolves so if there was not cross breeding where did all todays breeds come from .. CROSS BREEDING and NO the world is not flat.. I am done now you are wayyy 2 critical and I think you are enjoying this wayyy 2 much.. I am not here to try and sell my pups.. they sell just fine and one look and you can see they are quality dogs and go everywhere with us.. they are well cared for and loved beyond imagination.. we have a long waiting list most litters are sold out before they are born.. so I really do not need to justify my self here to you.. Thank You Come again.. I sure as hell wont shelly wrote: Bubba Dogs wrote: all breeds have genetic failings of one kind or another.. as with white boxers white mini schnauzers are SUPOSEDLY riddled with genetic failings as well... I am NOT a puppy mill I have 3 dogs I breed and ALL live in home with me they are all 3 out of EXTREAMLY PURE Lines.. Then you could be described as a mini-mill or a back yard breeder. You certainly aren't what I would call a *responsible* breeder, as you apparently do no health or temperament testing. the kennel club will most certainly register your "OFF" color dog with out a problem.. you simply cannot show the dog as it is unacceptable.. Thank you, but I am not interested in registering or showing my dog. (It is for to laugh!) imagine our suprise when 3 generations later of our imported lines they threw us a Choclate Parti Color.. ?? WHY??? .. Beats me. Is there something magical about your dogs being imported? I only ask, because you've mentioned it multiple times, as if it mattered. wellll how did Mini schnauzers Or any other breed come about?? CROSS BREEDING thats how.. Not necessarily true. Many breeds were developed by refining existing types. I beleive the "Chocolate or liver as some call it comes from one of the smaller breeds used to "Create" the Mini Schnauzer.. any one ever hear of "Genetic Throw Back" ?????

I would like to think all sorts of things, but I'm clueful enough to know that wishing doesn't make it so. as for health and temperment testing... yes we screen breeding parents for anything my vet feels should be tested for.. Which things would those be? we are not intrested in registering or showing either as you are right it is to laugh... That, too, is not exactly what I said. Registering and showing *my* dog would be laughable. That is not to say that breed registration and conformation showing are worthless endeavors. In order to refine an existing type is fine .. but where did the existing type come from ?? all dogs are descended from wolves so if there was not cross breeding where did all todays breeds come from .. If all dogs descended from wolves, then early dog breeds, of necessity, were created by refinement, not cross-breeding. Logic much? I am done now you are wayyy 2 critical And U are not Prince. HTH! and I think you are enjoying this wayyy 2 much.. No, not *too* much. one look and you can see they are quality dogs Yes, but *what* quality? we have a long waiting list most litters are sold out before they are born.. There is, alas, no shortage of ignorant and careless people. -- Shelly (Warning: see label for details) http://www.cat-sidh.net (the Mother Ship) http://esther.cat-sidh.net (Letters to Esther) |

I have 3 dogs I do NOT breed and all live "in home" with me; they are all out of shelters or rescue situations. So what? imagine our suprise when 3 generations later of our imported lines they threw us a Choclate Parti Color.. ?? WHY??? .. wellll how did Mini schnauzers Or any other breed come about?? CROSS BREEDING thats how.. Are you saying that the dogs you imported were not purebred? Because that's surely what it sounds like. Is that why you breed unregistered dogs? |

: ...To be a responsible breeder,you screen your breeding stock and provide that information to the breeders you obtain your stock from, and to any owners from that siblings litter. As Diane has often noted, different breeds seem to have different cultures wrt health and other testing. I used the Norwegian Elkhound, the ACD, and the Boxer to compare against the Miniature Schnauzer. I searched the AKC and OFA sites for summary information. Miniature Schnauzers were ranked 10th in numbers registered with the AKC in 2005, 24,144 dogs from 12,763 litters. In 2005, 194 Min. Schnauzers became breed champions (Ch), 38 earned a CD, and 1 earned a TD. A *total* of 79 Min. Schnauzers have health-testing information listed in the searchable OFA database. More dogs might have been tested and not listed, but they're bloody useless for generating an accurate impression of the overall breed health and the commitment breeders have towards the health of their breed. They were unranked wrt hip dysplasia because breeds with fewer than 100 evaluations are not ranked. Boxers ranked 5th in registrations, 37,268 dogs from 14,722 litters. 262 Ch; 46 CD; 3 TD. The OFA database lists 5690 Boxers with health tests, 3939 hip evaluations (10.6% dysplastic). They rank 3rd for number of thyroid tests (297). ACDs ranked 70th in registrations, 1,441 dogs from 614 litters. 134 Ch; 51 CD. ACDs rank 2nd in BAER hearing tests (after Dalmatians), and 1st in PRA testing. A total of 4960 animals appear in the OFA database (14.3% dysplastic). Norwegian Elkhounds ranked 96th in registrations, with 669 dogs from 308 litters. 75 Ch; 5 CD; 1 TD. 3273 Elkhounds appear in the searchable OFA database (19.8% dysplastic). Despite the relative rarity of ACDs and Elkhounds, the prevailing culture has become one of "test and disclose". Obviously, that's not the predominant attitude of Miniature Schnauzer breeders. |

Coat Color Related Question Schnauzers
Hi,
That was the strange thing about her. He did mostly hand-stripping. I've seen some of those yellowed Schnauzers (now I hope no one tries to sell them as "rare Golden Schnauzers"!) but he said he had puppy pictures that showed her the same color forever, short or long hair. It was like she never had any gray or black (except those occasional guard hairs). I've seen quite a few Schnauzers around but she was the only one I'd ever seen like that. I even saw an 8-week-old pup that had yellowing but she looked totally different. For a distance she looked like a wheaten Cairn cross, or something similar. Interesting. kc Toni wrote: "djnorth" wrote in message oups.com... Hi, I suspect you're correct that most of these Schnauzer colors are the result of unscrupulous breeding. I did see one, though, that I'm not too sure about. I met a guy about 20 years ago who had a spayed female Schnauzer that would be considered tan in many breeds. She almost had the color of my fawn Pug, who is pretty light. There were a few black guard hairs there as well. He said they called it "champagne" but he got her with a mandatory spay contract because of her color. He was fine with that because, well, he seemed pretty ethical. Many salt % pepper Schnauzers have a distinctly yellow undercoat. With repeated clippering (as opposed to hand stripping) the topcoat ceases to grow and the yellow undercoat takes over. Maybe this is what you saw? Some of them are *very* yellow/tan. -- Toni http://www.cearbhaill.com/rules.htm |

Coat Color Related Question
Liisa Sarakontu wrote: "Suja" wrote in news:kzqAg.84941$ZW3.67471@dukeread04: How and why are "acceptable" colors within a breed established? I understand the necessity to specify that some colors are DQ due to potential color linked health problems (like problems with breeding merles and piebalds). But what about the rest? Is it aesthetics, history, what? In many cases it is history. Most modern dog breeds are based on a certain local dog population, a landrace. In the time of very little travelling a local dog population normally came in just a rather small selection of colors. Sometimes they were the colors which were best suited to a certain use, and sometimes they just happened to be what they were. Lhasa Apsos, a relatively primitive landrace breed, allow any color, but black nose is required for competition. Brown (self-colored), even on a brown dog, is a DQ. The only reason I can see for this is that someone, somewhere decided. The self color gene is in the native race and thus in the gene pool, so why should it matter? It shouldn't. But since it does, breeders who show have to put some energy and worry into ..... nose color! I wonder ... are the genes of excellent, healthy dogs being lost to the population because of .... nose color??? Where is the eye rolling emoticon? Don't get me started on Quarter horses .... |
